FAQs
- When does the Valley of Flowers bloom?
- Peak bloom is mid-July to mid-August, in the monsoon. The valley is open roughly June to October but the flowers are best in this window.
- Can I sell this to pilgrims too?
- Yes — Hemkund Sahib makes it a dual nature-and-pilgrimage package. Position it for trekkers and Sikh pilgrims both.
